Speaking of which, is there like an online client for Neorage or anything? I want to try dying against other people in Power Instinct: Matrimelee, Samurai Showdown V, or Rage of the Dragons as well.

Every (dumped) Neogeo game is supported by MAME. Kawaks has all of them up to 2002 (they havent added the newest bunch of 2003 stuff that was just put into MAME recently). Kawaks play them online, MAME doesn't cause no one updates the online ver anymore.

Thus, Neorage is officially obselete by now. I think the only game that it supports that other emus cant do better is Metal Slug 5, which needs a non-hacked-to-get-it-boot ROM dump first.

as for my picks of emus:

Kega for megadrive/genesis, as Gens is a piece of total turd and lacks tons of stuff both for video and sound. With it's own idiocy to switch desktop resolutions on every startup. Oh and Kega also has way the fuck better netplay. Is there honestly any reason to use Gens anymore?

FCE Ultra for NES. Well for the once-a-year event when i play Mappy.

Zsnes for snes. same as FCE ultra.

VICE for C64. Way more accurate then the other c64 emus I tried. And has sound emulation that actually sounds like the real machine.

pSX for playstation. It's a new emulator that just came out and its aim is to be 1:1 hardware accurate. Thus it doesn't have 9987927398273482934824 plugin options and 2048x1600 resolution with 8x fsaa and crap like that. It just WORKS instead.

SSF for Saturn. I need a faster CPU.

MAME for arcade and Kawaks for a few arcade fighter games (the Marvel vs series, Garou and Zupapa).

I also have Project64 for n64 but it can't emulate -anything- fine. Plugin based emulators all suck ass.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

pSX is more accurate BECAUSE it doesnt use the plugin hackfest hell.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
